I hope the tripleaxle can appeal and at least get some vids back up via their own technology. Maybe then the rest could be put back up under a new account? Might be worth a try.
I am not sure I like the idea of Youtube or anyone being able to figure out where you are located at area-wise so that certain things can be blocked. Too big brother for me!
I think CBC does this as it says I can't watch the online broadcasts from my area. How do they know what "area" I am in?

I've spoken with tripleaxel96 and he's not feeling like reposting all the vids. He did have much of his own practice footage posted and could at least do that again, but who knows. Like others, I am gutted that I can't stroll down memory lane any more through is massive archive of great stuff.

I was just thinking that maybe if he appealed, I'd imagine that they could just reinstate most of the vids without him actually having to do it himself. Just hopeful for those who had this problem. Maybe it does or doesn't work that way.

I just went on and everyting Kwan has been deleted! Not that some of you will mind...but watch out I bet the rest will be gone soon too.

ETA: Just checked and I am now able to access them. Today at work I went through almost all of them and the error message that appears on top said that "Sorry, this video has been removed" . Freaking me out, I have a witness so I know I wasnt just making it up. LOL

He sort of has that "Senior Elements but Novice Skating Skills" thing going on, but I found the program entertaining. I liked that he had enough style in his jumps that when he popped the 3T it still looked tiddy. It is possible that he lacked field moves because he was molded by Galina Zmievskaya. Her skaters tend to have programs like that.

While not "perfect" because of a double-footed 3A, this program is actually rather appealing. It has a good mix of Viktor and Oksana is the construction that makes it look very balanced. I would have rather seen this at the 1994 Olympics than Viktor's "let me prove I really do deserve that medal" program.

I just went through on my new account (after my account was deleted 2 weeks ago) and put the few videos I have uploaded again on private. Youtube is starting to really suck, and it's too much a P.I.T.A. to upload them all over and over again.

Out of curiosity sake, is there a time limit on copyright? Like, these vids from the 1970s or even earlier, does the copyright still exist on them? (It seems so, but just wondering if someone knows the real answer)

Her first element is the layback and she does it in the opposite direction for her. I couldn't even tell until I saw her jump because she did it so well. A layback must be the hardest spin to learn in the opposite direction.

Copyright goes on for decades and decades. I think for movies, and presumably TV footage, the official time span was 70 years, and it was recently increased by twenty(due to by Disney, since Mickey and his friends were supposed go out of copyright back in 2003 and they couldn't have that).
It's worth noting that recent rules have decided you can copy and pass around stuff that is not "mainstream," which probably translates to anything the corporations don't care about, or maybe just anything they're not trying to make off of. Though what use they'd have for older videos I'm not sure.
